Snake on the Street (Life on the Bench, Part 1)

Life on the Bench, Part 1

We have seen plenty of snakes this year - too many!!
(I think this is a gopher snake.)


While driving home from church Tuesday night, we came
around the corner near the peach orchard and slowed so we could hopefully
see a bear.
We had the car headlights on high as we searched the bushes
along the road. Before we could even react, out of the dark, running
as hard as he could, came a bear - straight for us! He ran smack dab into the Prius!
He hit Pastor David's door with a great thump!
Scared us all - including the bear.
That was a little too close for comfort!

(The bear was ok, and so was the Prius.)

  1. Pastor said it was probably about 400 pounds as best we could tell. Haven't had that much experience weighing a bear! : )

  2. Ok, that was funny :), Well I hope to hear more about life on the beach, they say property on the beach is expensive, do you think now being in counter with a bear and a snake may bring the value down?
